Objective: In this study, the results of six Colorectal Cancer Screening Population Programmes are shown (Catalonia, Valence, Murcia, Cantabria, the Basque Country and the Canary Islands collected between 2005 and 2012. These programmes use the faeces occult blood test (FOBt) biennial. Objective: To determine and compare the results of lesions detected by the programmes, participation, sex, age and test used.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study based on people invited, aged between 50-74 years, in at least a complete round. Lesions considered: Advanced Adenomas (AA), Colorectal Invasive Cancer (CRC) and both of them, known as Advanced Neoplasia (AN). Logistic Regression and time trends are used.
Results: 1,995,719 of invitations registered, with an average participation-rate of 46.7%. 21,228 Advanced Neoplasias (2,813 CRC and 18,415 AA). Differences in detection rates observed between programmes (varying from 15.1‰ to 35.8‰ between participants). Participation rates were related to lesions' detection rates (OR 1.25 in 40-60% of participation). . Inmunochemical qualitative test showed an OR of 4.79 and quantitative test an OR of 7.30 over the guaiac test. Men showed an OR of 2.73 with respect to women. In 2012 the Advanced Neoplasia rate for women and men was 33.1 and 14.2 by 1,000 participants.
Conclusions: The test used was the most important factor for detecting lesions. Time trends showed an increase in detected lesions caused by the change of the type of test in 2010.

Background: Bacterial toxins are emerging as promising hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. In particular, Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) from E. coli deserves special consideration due to the significantly higher prevalence of this toxin gene in CRC patients with respect to healthy subjects, and to the numerous tumor-promoting effects that have been ascribed to the toxin in vitro.

Objective: The clinical benefits of neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer patients are controversial. This study intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in these patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 71 locally advanced gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone were divided into bevacizumab plus chemo group (N = 23) and chemo group (N = 48).

Background: Tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly immune cell infiltration, programmed cell death (PCD) and stress, has increasingly become a focal point in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Uncovering the intricate crosstalk between these factors can enhance our understanding of CRC, guide therapeutic strategies, and improve patient prognosis.
Methods: We constructed an immune-related cell death and stress (ICDS) prognostic model utilizing machine learning methodologies.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Affiliated Gaozhou People's Hospital, Guangdong Medical University, Maoming, 525200, P.R. China.
Background: DNA hypomethylation and uracil misincorporation into DNA, both of which have a very important correlation with colorectal carcinogenesis. Folate plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, acting as a coenzyme in one-carbon metabolism, which involves the synthesis of purines, pyrimidines, and methyl groups. MTHFR, a key enzyme in folate metabolism, has been widely studied in relation to neural tube defects and hypertension, but its role in colorectal cancer remains underexplored.

Background: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer are vital to improving outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown promise in the early detection and diagnosis of cancer, but there is limited evidence on methods that fully exploit the longitudinal data stored within electronic health records (EHRs). This review aims to summarise methods currently utilised for prediction of cancer from longitudinal data and provides recommendations on how such models should be developed.
